Sound

Refined describes the 11 Pro’s audio delivery, too, at least when listening via headphones. There’s no headphone adapter in the box, so if you want to connect a pair of wired headphones, you’ll need to budget £9 to buy one separately. 

iPhones are renowned for their crisp, neutral delivery that doesn’t colour the sound in any noticeable way, but the 11 Pro adds a new level of subtlety and sophistication. Notes begin as crisply as before, but have a more nuanced and organic degradation to them.

Low-level dynamics have improved, allowing for extra drama in quieter tracks, such as Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’s The Mother. But there’s also a tonal lightness to the 11 Pro’s delivery that isn’t present on its predecessor. The XS, which sounds excellent in its own right, actually comes across as a touch sluggish by comparison.

Apple has put a lot of effort into improving the speaker performance of the 11 Pro through the introduction of spatial audio with support for Dolby Atmos. The sound is much more spacious and atmospheric than before – and louder, too – which makes for a more engaging movie or gaming experience. It’s still only a fraction of the audio quality delivered by headphones, though, and even a small budget Bluetooth speaker will improve on the integrated speakers.
